Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer has announced his retirement, and President Biden has promised to nominate a liberal African American woman to the seat. While most pundits are focused on the fact that Biden is limiting his potential nominees to a specific race and gender, now might be a good time to discuss the more important matter of judges per se.
Let’s start by defining some terms:
Natural laws are abstract concepts that apply to an unknown number of people in an unknown number of situations. In other words, they are broadly defined to encompass (nearly) every possible situation imaginable. They’re part of a spontaneous order, or “nomos”, and as such arise from our physical circumstances rather than human design. Think “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” from the Declaration of Independence.
